Cheating in StarCraft 2: Not a Good Idea

TheGuardian — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 10:36:42 +0000

At least officially… As long as you keep it offline, to yourself that is, everything is good. However, if you log in to battle.net with an altered game client you’re risking being permanently banned from the server, so don’t do it. Blizzard has always taken cheating very seriously with all its games and StarCraft II is no exception to that rule.

You should not use hacks or any modifications that violates battle.net policies because that will go against the spirit of fair play that all of Blizzard’s games are based on. It’s still okay to use Starcraft 2 Cheats in single player games though (press Enter then type in the cheats for Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty, then hit Enter again):

terribleterribledamage – Activates God mode, meaning your StarCraft 2 units won’t die, drones included.
smoldersbolds – Get 5,000 Minerals and Vespene Gas. Good cheat!
moredotsmoredots – With this cheat, units will not require resources to train.
sosayweall – Disables tech requirements (cheat refers to the Battlestar Galactica TV series).
mintmansoperator – Cheat disables food and PSI requirements.
sawnoutofmemory – Fog of War is lifted, clear weather ahead.
iamironman – +1 Upgrades to weapons, armors and shields for infantry units.
basestarsprimative – This cheat will enable you to build stuff faster.
kerriganunits – To pass the 200 units limit, type in this cheat.

Please keep in mind that, while using Starcraft 2 Cheats, you will not earn achievements. In the spirit of fair play, you will need to play a mission again to earn achievements. Power overwhelming!

Starcraft 2 managed to remain true to its roots while still bringing new interesting units to the table, well integrated story and superb graphics. While the lack of LAN support is no longer a rumor, the game makes use of Battle.net quite well and in our opinion this is a great anti-piracy method. Should you follow the Starcraft 2 Rumors, you will shortly find out that, not surprisingly, StarCraft II is what you always wanted from a real-time strategy game as the macho campaign, the good humor and the deep character voices will surely provide a meaningful and unforgettable experience for ya.

Starcraft 2 Rumors: Campaign Overview

The first chapter reminded us a little of Halo (FPS): you’re searching for artifacts while dealing with religious zealots and the “flood” (we mean, the Zerg). Nevertheless, the story integrates flawlessly with the game play and you get an actually feeling of making a difference. There’s great variety within the game and the campaign itself offers good replayability. Starcraft II is a fun, well-balanced game, definitely a must play.

Starcraft 2: How to Activate Antialiasing on Geforce

TheGuardian — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:59:41 +0000

Having a blast with the Campaign but are annoyed that there’s no option to activate Antialiasing in StarCraft 2? No worries, we’ve got the solution, but only for the happy NVidia video card owners! Sorry, but there’s no such option for Radeon video cards, which is unacceptable by today’s standards for a PC game.

Just like in the Beta, Starcraft 2 has no option to enable Antialiasing, but fortunately NVidia allows us to force it from its Control Panel. How do you do this?

Right-click on your desktop, choose “NVIDIA Control Panel” from the list, select “Manage 3D setting” and then click “Antialiasing – Mode” from the options to the right. Now chose “Override any application setting” from the drop down list and force your favorite Antialiasing level to 2x (up to 16x), in “Antialiasing – Setting”.

This is by far the only way you can activate Antialiasing in StarCraft 2. Now, when you play Starcaft 2, you’ll get smooth edges on vegetation or fences. Have fun!
